Grips - tips and tricks please!!

[Whatleymeister]

Sat the grips in hot (not boiling) water for 3-4 minutes and they slid on a charm! My first build should be ready in the next few days so I will put a thread up for it. It's not entirely period correct, but most of it is

Thanks for the help guys

Zip ties around the inside in line with the bar and pulled out with pliers once grip in place...... :roll:

This is how I have always done it, although the hot water is straight from the kettle normally.

+1 from me.

Does the Hairspray trick work on Carbon bars??? I put mine on with Washing up liquid & they've not set quite. Bit of a roll but not enough to distract riding...are the above tips just for aluminium?...

Used to use hairspray, never had a problem with it but I am currently preffering GT85 as there is less mess using the tube to concentrate the spray inside the grip.

I tried it all! But in the end the fastest way is WD40!
